Chapter 202: Marriage

In the palace, Emperor Shenwu faintly expressed his impatience in the face of Lu Jiang, who was kneeling in front of him.

Recently, Emperor Shenwu has been very annoying.

Not to mention that the crown prince and King Zhao stirred up the wind and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and their own sons killed each other regardless of the country's body, even the cold-blooded and ruthless emperor was not in his heart.

took advantage of the situation to let Mo Guanjie return to Beijing to report on his work, and the result was ...... None of the eldest princess and the county lord of Zhaohua stopped, and there were troubles one after another.

With the exposure of Lu Tianyang's identity, the events of that year had to be turned out one after another.

Emperor Shenwu was suddenly very faceless, and the King of Qi recently did not enter the palace because he was dissatisfied with his connivance with the Lord of Zhaohua, and Emperor Shenwu was angry because of the King of Qi, but he couldn't see the King of Qi, and he felt that he was not happy.

has been an emperor for more than 20 years and has experienced a lot of things, but Emperor Shenwu still rarely has nowhere to fire.

A qiē was provoked by Chengguo Gong Lu Jiang.

"Your Majesty, the minister feels guilty."

Lu Jiang bowed his head deeply and pleaded guilty: "The minister is no longer worthy of being in the court, and would rather resign and study behind closed doors." ”

Resigned?

Emperor Shenwu suspected that he was hallucinating, and Lu Jiang seemed to have been stripped of by Emperor Shenwu in the army over the years, but Lu Jiang, who had pacified Eastern Liao and Nanling one after another, had many admirers in the army.

pampered the county lord of Zhaohua, the hero was short of breath, and it did not wear out Lu Jiang's prestige.

Lu Jiang is not loyal enough to his homeland, and no one can deny his talent in the army, and the first general after Lu Yun and the King of Kaishan deserves it.

In terms of military talent, Xu is more outstanding than Mu Yi, the founder of the mountain.

After all, the Kaishan King is an all-rounder, not a military expert.

Good birds choose trees to perch on is the best explanation for Lu Jiang's surrender to Emperor Shenwu. Emperor Shenwu still had to make a big deal of it for it.

Emperor Shenwu's infiltration of the Wind Corps has never stopped, even if he has set up Lu Jiang and guarded Lu Lingfeng, the prince of Chengguo. Emperor Shenwu still can't say that he has been able to completely control the Wind Clan.

His purge of the founding heroes, the four major corps were nominally held in the hands of Emperor Shenwu, and in terms of combat effectiveness, the Wind Corps was weakened the least.

A few days ago, the school performed martial arts, and the Wind Regiments lost, but the loss was not ugly, but it gave Emperor Shenwu a feeling of undefeated defeat.

Emperor Shenwu narrowed his eyes and tried to be kind: "Why did Chengguo Gong say this?" I also count on Lu Qing to go out again. The matter of resignation ......"

"The minister doesn't dare to be attached to the official position anymore, and the Wind Corps should also be handed over to His Majesty."

A trace of reluctance flashed in Lu Jiang's eyes, "The minister has been unable to resist the county lord all these years. ...... to land Uncle has a lot of debts, and the invincible war general is just a burden imposed on the minister by outsiders, and the minister is just an ordinary person, who just wants to spend a few days with the county lord and his son. ”

"Lu Tianyang?"

Emperor Shenwu hesitated. Obviously, Lu Jiang wanted Lu Tianyang to return to Lu's house. Just exposing Lu Tianyang's life experience made King Qi blow up, once Lu Tianyang was ordered to be filial to Lu Jiang's father and son...... The king of Qi had to blow up the palace.

King Qi sits on the two states of Youyun, not that he is not qualified to negotiate conditions with Emperor Shenwu.

The emperor is in a dilemma, and the two states of Youyun? Tempest? He didn't want to give up any of them.

"When the minister read Uncle Lu's battle report, he was both happy and guilty." Lu Jiang raised his head, his elegant face was full of pride in being proud of his son, "See him." The minister realized that the minister and the county lord doted on Ling Feng too much, and it was difficult for Ling Feng to take on the heavy responsibility of being a bhoot corps. ”

"What are these words? The son inherits the father's business. Ling Feng is your heir. ”

"Putting the empire first, the minister wants to ...... I hope His Majesty can appoint Lu ...... Lu Tianyang is the deputy commander, and whoever of them is suitable to fight for His Majesty will be qualified to inherit the position of commander of the corps. ”

"Have you discussed it with Zhaohua?" Emperor Shenwu's eyes were deep, "With Zhaohua's maintenance of Ling Feng, how could she nod her head in agreement?" ”

"The minister made the mistake that a normal man would make, and the minister is willing to spend the rest of his life to compensate the county lord. However, the Swift Wind Corps has devoted a lifetime of hard work to the minister, and is the loyal guardian of the empire, and the minister hopes that the prestige of the corps can be passed on. Although the country is now peaceful and peaceful, the frontier is not stable. ”

Lu Jiang said righteously: "Your Majesty, the minister's heart is in turmoil, and his ambition has been extinguished, so he can only hope that the courtier's son will inherit his father's business and make meritorious contributions to His Majesty." ”

Emperor Shenwu was silent for a long time, rubbing the armrest of the dragon chair, "Ling Feng is still good, you and Zhaohua don't put too much pressure on him, after all, Lu Tianyang ...... Not everyone can raise it. ”

At this moment, Emperor Shenwu is very proud of King Qi, Lu Tianyang looks like his eyes, except for his brother-in-law, Emperor Shenwu has never seen a beautiful man in such a comfortable mood.

The most important thing is that Lu Tianyang once again proved what it is to be both talented and beautiful!

Emperor Shenwu has always been criticized for judging people by appearance, and with the two special cases of his brother-in-law and Lu Tianyang, he can continue to judge people by his appearance in an upright manner.

The only pity is that it has to be Lu Tianyang's biological mother...... Emperor Shenwu didn't want to doubt Lu Tianyang's loyalty to the empire, but his biological mother's side had a much longer history than the grassroots royal family Ying clan, and the Mu family with his brother-in-law was not bad.

For these families with ancient inheritance, Emperor Shenwu didn't care about it on his face, but in fact, he was still full of respect in his heart, and the Ying family had not gone through six or five generations of bloodline improvement, so he was afraid that it would be difficult to rank with the family.

There is no thousand-year-old dynasty, but there is a thousand-year-old family.

"The minister is very grateful to His Royal Highness the King of Qi for his upbringing, and has never thought of replacing His Royal Highness the King of Qi. All the sins were committed by the ministers, and the county lord and Tianyang should not be made hostile to each other. ”

Lu Jiang looked pained and struggled: "I don't want to affect the stability of the empire, if the county lord and the eldest princess clash with the king of Qi again, it will be detrimental to the empire." This is only a private matter of the minister. ”

Emperor Shenwu couldn't help but nodded.

"The county lord is kind, and Tianyang is also sensible and filial, and after getting along, they will understand each other more and have less misunderstandings."

"Do you think it's possible for Lu Tianyang to forgive Zhaohua?" Emperor Shenwu knew the inside story of a qiē, "He is not suffering for a little bit, he can let go of revenge for Ah Jiu, you think about the filial piety of your father and son, and the harmony of the whole family, I think it is just an extravagant hope." ”

"If you don't try, the minister is unwilling, even if they can't resolve the grievances in the end, the minister would rather they quarrel in the house. I don't want to be involved in the court, so that Your Majesty will embarrass you. ”

This sentence quite touched Emperor Shenwu, "I think about it again." ”

"The minister retired." After Lu Jiang kowtowed. Walked backwards out of the imperial study.

Walking down the steps, Lu Jiang's hands were clenched into fists, and the look of humiliation was fleeting.

Lu Jiang had already sent news to the prince, and the prince naturally wanted to cut off King Qi's arm, and he was very much in favor of Lu Tianyang's return to the Lu family.

The Lu family of Chengguo Gong is in the same vein, but the prince regards his own people, and he is both prosperous and prosperous.

Thereupon. The crown prince sent a message to the empress and tried his best to facilitate the matter in front of Emperor Shenwu.

The queen does not have the confidence of the prince, although Emperor Shenwu is lustful. But it's really just lustful, gold, silver and jewelry, he can reward his favorite concubine without blinking, but no one is allowed to stretch forward.

Emperor Shenwu was generally moody in the harem. After all, the concubines in the harem are all his women. is attached to him, so he can do whatever he wants, and he doesn't have to be as cautious as a courtier.

The queen has long been the crown prince as the center, and after receiving a message from her son, the queen took advantage of Emperor Shenwu's happiness to intercede for Lu Jiang.

"Zhaohua always goes on like this, and his reputation is not good."

Seeing that Emperor Shenwu did not show boredom. The queen settled down and continued to persuade: "Let's kiss Ling Feng." His Majesty loves Ling Feng the most, no one compares to him before, he is a little lax, and now he has a younger brother who is excellent in everything, Ling Feng dares not to work hard? As the saying goes, fighting tigers and brothers, the Lu family is also a prestigious family, and he can't rely on Ling Feng alone, he also needs the support of his brothers to inherit the title. ”

"The queen is not worried that Lu Tianyang robbed Ling Feng's qiqi?"

Emperor Shenwu seemed to smile, "You are not bad to my sons, not to mention a bowl of water, but it is not less for them to eat." ”

"The concubine just did her duty." The queen bowed her head in fear, "Restrained by the law of etiquette, no matter how good the concubine is, there is no reason to succeed him, as long as Ling Feng is still there, he is the son of the world, and no one can snatch it." ”

"The queen is taking great pains to remind me to face the crown prince squarely?"

"The concubine doesn't dare."

Emperor Shenwu held the empress's arm, and the empress couldn't kneel, "Your Majesty xià......"

"I still value the crown prince."

"The crown prince is loyal to His Majesty, and he does not intend to compete with the prince and the prince." The empress carefully observed Emperor Shenwu, "It's just that they may not be convinced." ”

Emperor Shenwu looked outside the main hall, "Autumn is crisp, go hunting, I should hunt." ”

“…… 陛xià. ”

The queen watched Emperor Shenwu, who said that the wind is the wind, walk outside the main hall, "When Lu Tian became married, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back, and the queen remembers to reward them." ”

"Yes."

"After getting married, I will talk to Lu Tianyang again."

When this sentence reached the queen's ears, Emperor Shenwu's figure was no longer visible.

Majesty Xià agreed to Lu Jiang's request?

*****

"Why do you want to marry after you get married?"

"Ma'am."

Mo Guanjie was also very helpless, and pushed the yellow calendar to Jiang's, "You take a look first, I want to have the best days after only half a month of marriage this year, and the rest are not suitable for happy events." Second, I just went back to Beijing to report on my work, and the emperor asked me to stay in the imperial capital for a few more days, and after the marriage, we always have to go back to Jiangnan again. ”

"There are no good days this year, so you can move to the year after tomorrow, the year after tomorrow, and you are still young at the age of about nine years. Lu Tianyang gave up the imperial examination this time and failed the list, he only has a title and no official position, if the marquis pleads with the emperor, he can stay with him, and he can go back to Jiangnan with us. ”

"Leave Lu Tianyang alone in the imperial capital, Hou Ye rest assured?"

"Hereditary earls generally can't leave Beijing lightly." Mo Guanjie looked embarrassed, "The emperor is already extraordinarily gracious, and it is better to raise it in the imperial capital." ”

"Set the day of marriage, and I'll send Ah Jiu back."

“…… I also love Ah Jiu, she is not too rushed to marry after the queen, and she is ...... He has been waiting for Ah Jiu for more than four years, and we have to think about one or two for our son-in-law, besides, His Royal Highness King Qi ...... What if he comes to rob his relatives? ”

Mo Guanjie hugged Jiang, "Little birds always have to fly high when they grow up, Ah Jiu is still our daughter." Maybe it won't be two years, and Xiao Ajiu will also be a mother, madam, don't want to hug your grandson? ”

"I ......"

"I know that Mrs. is afraid that Ah Jiu will be wronged, and Tianyang loves Ah Jiu more than us."

Jiang Shi lowered his head and pondered, and suddenly pushed Mo Guanjie away, "Since I got married in half a month, I have to start preparing from now on, and I can't let Ah Jiu's wedding be too hasty." ”

Mo Guanjie saw that the Jiang family was busy, and sighed silently, he worked hard for his son-in-law, it seems that he has to stay alone in the empty room these days.

*****

Hiring, fixing relatives, combining eight characters, preparing for the wedding, the Jiang family was busy.

The county lord of Zhaohua and the Chengguo Mansion were silent, and it was the king of Qi who came forward to entertain the wedding.

The eldest princess also seemed to accept her fate, but she quietly sent two boxes of dowry, and on the surface, she was much colder to Mo Guanjie.

It is difficult to see Ah Jiu in the young ladies who surround the eldest princess all day long.

The eldest princess no longer mentions Ah Jiu, showing her special to Ah Jiu.

On the contrary, Mo Xinqing, the wife of the prince of Yanguo, suddenly became a celebrity in front of the eldest princess.

Due to the death of his stepmother, Yan Guogong became sad and sick, and the eldest princess lived in Yan Guogong's mansion for several days to take care of Yan Guogong, and the precious medicinal materials were moved to the Guogong Mansion as if they didn't need money.

The eldest princess's attention to Yan Guogong broke the rumors outside.

Mo Xinqing couldn't show any joy, although the scandal with Lu Lingfeng hid her husband, Mo Xinqing no longer wanted to be gentle in front of her husband.

Under the pretext of being unwell, Mo Xinqing pushed the prince of Yan Guo into the concubine's room.

"Master."

"Don't mention him to me." Mo Xinqing drank Cui'er, "When I see him, I feel disgusted." ”

I was touched by a fake.

He was just a vulgar and humble farmer.

Mo Xinqing couldn't even suppress the nausea after drinking three bowls of plum soup, obviously she was the eldest princess...... "How can this be?" ”

After learning the truth, Mo Xinqing did not regret it for a moment.

Her hard work to entrap the prince of Yan Guo turned out to be a joke.

Even if the eldest princess looks at her differently now, Mo Xinqing is so uncomfortable that she can't wait to reconcile with the prince of Yan Guo immediately.

Cui'er said softly: "The slave maid wants to ask you about the makeup of Miss Nine......"

"Don't mention Ah Jiu to me!"

Mo Xinqing only now understands the meaning of Ah Jiu's words, "She watched me jump into the fire pit but didn't say anything...... Lu Tianyang...... Ruined my innocence, both of them deserve to die! ”

In the past, she was afraid of Lu Tianyang and did not dare to rise up the idea of revenge, but now her life has been destroyed by Lu Tianyang and Ah Jiu joining forces.

"Since I've become a joke, I want them to be upset. Ah Jiu doesn't deserve to be happy, she ...... Unworthy. ”

"Master."

"She just had to remind me one sentence, just one sentence."

Two tears flowed from the corners of Mo Xinqing's eyes, and her face was pale, "Why can she marry well, but I can only live humbly and hopelessly?" ”

Only hatred can make Mo Xinqing continue to walk.

"Inform the teacher, Mo Guanjie is the ......"

Mo Xinqing stopped, shook his head and said, "No, you can't tell Master like this, please go to the Mo family, I'll ...... I'm going to ruin Ah Jiu's name. ”

"You can't do it."

Cui'er stopped Mo Xinqing, who was a little crazy, "The eldest princess is watching from the side, you can't lose the support of the eldest princess, not to mention how could Lu Tianyang and King Qi allow outsiders to approach Miss Nine?" ”

Mo Xinqing didn't know this, and cried more and more fiercely, "I hate, hate the two of them." ”

No amount of hatred and jealousy can prevent a wedding that will be watched in the imperial capital.

On the day Ah Jiu left the cabinet, the queen not only gave a reward, but also came to the wedding and personally witnessed their marriage. (To be continued......)
